How Long Does It Take To Learn Systematic Trading

Adrian Reid says you can learn systematic trading in six months with 45-60 minutes several times a week. Consistency matters more than intensity. Block the time like any other commitment and treat it as a short-term investment with decades of payoff.

Consistency is key here. If you spend a little bit of time today and then next weekend you do a little bit and then you get busy with work and three weeks later you come back and you try and do a little bit, you're not going to make much progress. Just being completely open. You don't need to spend hours every day, but if you could consistently spend a few hours a week, you can definitely make progress. A lot of my students who make the best progress just put in their calendar of an evening or a morning before work or whatever it is a block of time where they spend 45 minutes or an hour watching the content again, asking questions, doing the work and just do that several times a week and you can make progress. Yeah, you can do this with a full time job. Most of my students work, most of my students work full time. So you can definitely do that and progress. You just need to be consistent, which means you need to decide this is important to you because there's probably some things that might have to give. Maybe we don't binge as much Netflix. Maybe we wake up a little bit earlier. Maybe we don't collapse on lounge telling ourself how exhausted we are. And we earned that, that relaxed time. Maybe we just spend a little of that on our trading. And the good thing is it pays off, right? It. This learning journey can be very quick if you do it right.
And let's say in six months you're up and running, fully automated with a portfolio of systems that you are 100% confident in, that investment of time and energy to get that running that will help you build wealth for decades.
So we really have to keep this in perspective. A little effort now on a consistent basis for a matter of months will change our life for decades. And most people don't look ahead, they just go, oh, I'm too busy now. I don't really have the energy. Maybe next week. Right. But if you'll carve out that time, you can do it. And in 10 years time, your future self will. Thank you, Sam.
